Cool jr50 muffed out!

Can anyone help me with a Suzuki JR50 problem? I picked up a jr50 for my 6 y.o. last year. He loves his bike but it just lacks the power he wants and needs. Top end speed is ok for him but the low end is completely absent. I've tried to push higher Hp bikes like the KTM and LEM but he just will not part with the ZUK. I've seen threads discussing a "second gear". This is not an ave I want to travel. I've also seen threads saying that aftermarket pipe and silencer do not change the performance much. SO...if there are any TECH-SAVY folks out there that can help get me some low end grunt out of this powerless bike PLEASE feel free to jump in. I have already removed the exhaust limiter washer. I saw a tech page saying there was an intake washer as well...couldn't find one! PLEASE HELP, the bike is a 2004 jr50
